    You can make u=cos x for problem 2 if you turn tan x into (sin x)/(cos x) because then you end up with the integral of (-1/u)(ln u) du and if you do another substitution where w=ln u you just get the integral of -w dw and after using the power rule and substituting u and x back in you will still end up with -1/2 (ln(cos x))^2 +C just takes a little longer.

    Haha... nice black-red marker. I look at it the same way as I look at calculators... makes life much easier, but reduces the need for skill (mental arithmetic in the case of the calculator, and your previously demonstrated marker-switching skills, in the case of this dual colour marker.)

    Hello, so for problem number 2, I got a different method but same answer. Set cosx equal to u, then change tanx to sinx over cosx, since they are the same. Derivative of cosx is -sinx, then it will be du/-sinx. This will cancel out the sinx (from sinx/cosx which is the same as tanx). Then it will become ln(u)/u, do substitution again, v equal ln(u), derivative is 1/u. Cancel out you at the bottom and so on.

    • @user-dj5wh1xg9o
      @user-dj5wh1xg9o Před 6 lety +2

      Elliott Manley rt(x) is always positive because the definition of a finding a root is basically just finding the number that has been squared. As you know, a number squared is positive e.g. -2^2 is +4
      Therefore the reason for his statement is because you cannot square a number to get a negative number and nor can you do it in reverse (Unless you take into account complex numbers)
      As an example rt(4) = both +2 and -2 for the reason explained making rt(-x) not true for all real integers for x

    This 2 pointed marker is very 1 dimensional... What if we up it to 2 dimensions... a cross (think x-y axis)... with 4 marker tips, red, black, blue and green each at right angles to each other?... or 3 dimensions (think x-y-z axis), 6 points, red, black, blue, green, purple and yellow all at right angles?? ... Could we extend this into 4 dimensions? NOTE: If we consider a 3-d marker projected into a 2-d world... The 2-d world essentially "sees" the 3-d marker only 4 colors at a time.. when we rotate the 3-d, the 2-d world sees it as simply 2 of the 4 tips changing color... SO... on our 3-d marker set (6 points), if we could set the tips to change colors, we could essentially model a 4-d marker set where each 4-d orientation is "seen" in the 3-d world as the marker tips not only revolving but changing colors!... Could we model higher dimensions?... Would LOVE to see someone work out the details on this! ....Am I over thinking this black-red marker thing??

    • @carultch
      @carultch Před 7 měsíci

      You can do the second one with integration by parts. It's a looper and regrouper in one.
      Given: integral tan(x) ln(cos(x)) dx
      Let tangent be integrated, and the log composition be differentiated.
      d/dx ln(cos(x)) = 1/cos(x) * -sin(x) = -tan(x)
      Construct IBP table:
      S ____ D _________ I
      + ____ln(cos(x)) __ tan(x)
      - ____-tan(x) _____ -ln(cos(x))
      Attach S-column signs, construct along diagonal. Then construct an integral along the bottom row.
      -ln(cos(x))^2 - integral tan(x) ln(cos(x)) dx
      Spot the original integral, and call it I. Set the whole expression equal to I.
      I = -ln(cos(x))^2 - I
      Solve for I:
      2*I = -ln(cos(x))^2
      I = -1/2*ln(cos(x))^2
      Solution:
      -1/2*ln(cos(x))^2 + C

      A bit late for exams but the integral was in terms of "u" (notice the "du" at the end of the equation) so the antiderivative of 1 was u. And for at 8:50 he multiplied both sides by 2sqrt(x) so that du=(1/2sqrt(x))dx simplifies to 2sqrt(x)du=dx (again notice the difference in "du" and "dx")

    For example 1, how will I know to make a u substitution of x^2 (especially in a exam), are there any methods/tips on knowing what to substitute ?

      In this particular example the thought stream may go like this: "hmmm, we have to make x^4 something in terms of u, but there is this freaking x on the top. What can we do? We must get rid of it. Well, let's take something u-related, which after computing the derivative gives us something like x dx, then the x's will cancel out. How can we achieve x^1 term via derivation? Of course - by taking x^2." And then it goes.
      The key to finding these ways out is to compute hundreds of integrals, and eventually they'll start popping out in your head automatically :)

    A non-universal method for integrating with the chain rule is to say that int f(g(x))g’(x)dx= int f(g(x))d(g(x)). You don’t need to do any differentiation, and you can integrate x/(1+x^4) using this method.

    the way I would've done the second one is I would've done u = cos (x) because tan(x) is just sin(x)/cos(x) so you have du/u. Then you have integral of 1/u ln u which I'd recognise already, but you can also take it to the v world with v = ln u
    Now of course this is essentially a more complicated way to do the same thing because v = ln u = ln (cos x) which is what you did, but I think it's a more understandable method to get there

    Output of square root of x not always positive. He can be zero and positive, so he always non-negative. But certainly square root of x+1 is always positive
